We close out the Ruffed Grouse Society series round table style with Nick Biemiller and Ben Jones of RGS/AWS but also Michael McCord, Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) Small Game Coordinator. We put a book end on the series with a discussion all about Silviculture!
- What is Silviculture?
- A forest is NOT a monoculture crop!
- "Demand per acre is rising and more difficult than ever to manage"
- Public and private land management diversity
- Silviculture not only "grows trees" but also manages/controls invasive and undesirable species
- "Herbicide" is not always a bad word
- Grouse + Acorns
- Shelterwood Cuts or Clear Cuts?
- Not all trees are created equal
- Climate control and how early successional forests help
- Series Wrap Up
